An object of the invention is to have a carton 5 which is compact to ship; which will keep its contents in good order; which is adaptable to any type of wash room flxture;- and which will efficiently serve the purpose for which it has been intended.

For a further and more detailed description of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the attached drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of theback of the 16 carton in closed position ready for shipment.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the back of the carton with the top in raised position.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the front of the carton hung by its top to a conventional paper 20 roll holder.

Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the carton hung by a nail upon a wall.

In the drawing, the reference numeral III denotes a carton in general, this carton comprises 25 a conventional box II, with a tuck top II. The

carton exemplified is of cardboard although any other suitable material may be substituted. The top II has a tuck portion I! which may when convenient to do so'be tucked within the box H.
